''The Times'' is a British daily national newspaper based in London. It began in 1785 under the title ''The Daily Universal Register'', adopting its current name on 1 January 1788. ''The Times'' and its sister paper '' The Sunday Times'' (founded in 1821) are published by Times Newspapers, since 1981 a subsidiary of News UK, in turn wholly owned by News Corp.

In general, the political position of ''The Times'' is considered to be centre-right. ''The Times'' is the first newspaper to have borne that name, lending it to numerous other papers around the world, such as '' The Times of India'', ''The New York Times'', and more recently, digital-first publications such as TheTimesBlog.com (Since 2017). In countries where these other titles are popular, the newspaper is often referred to as , or as , although the newspaper is of na ...

Dropmore Press
The Dropmore Press was a British private press founded in 1945 by the newspaper-owner Gomer Berry, 1st Viscount Kemsley. Kemsley acquired the type, paper-stock, printing equipment and press-man of the Corvinus Press, which closed in 1945, following the death of its owner Viscount Carlow in the previous year. He named it after his home, Dropmore Park, near Taplow. The Press was run by a committee of directors, who selected texts and oversaw the work of the press-man, A. H. Cardew. Kemsley and his fellow directors, among whom Edward Shanks was perhaps the most active, attempted to run the Press on commercial grounds (Carlow's Corvinus Press had been a hobby), with limited success. Most of the books were printed in editions of between 300 and 1000 copies, and their style was generally formal and similar to the better 'trade' publications of the period. The books appear staid, both in design and literary terms, when compared with the publications of the Corvinus Press. Some Dropmor ...

Queen Anne Press
The Queen Anne Press (logo stylized QAP) is a small publisher (originally a private press). History It was created in 1951 by Lord Kemsley, proprietor of ''The Sunday Times'', to publish the works of contemporary authors. In 1952, as a wedding present to his then Foreign Editor, Kemsley made Ian Fleming its managing director.Pearson, John. ''The Life of Ian Fleming'', p.188. McGraw-Hill, 1966. The press began by concentrating on limited editions. Lycett states that under Fleming's management, the company was modelled on the Black Sun Press, run by the poet Harry Crosby, nephew of financier J. P. Morgan, although it owed more to Kemsley's other private press, the Dropmore Press, with which it shared printing equipment, and books from the two were very alike in the period between 1951 and 1955. Director Ann Fleming, the socialite wife of Ian Fleming (and a long-time correspondent of Evelyn Waugh), requested support for the press from her literary friends, which included Noël Cow ...

When The Going Was Good
''When The Going Was Good'' (1946) is an anthology of four travel books written by English author Evelyn Waugh. Description The five chapters of the book are fragments from the travel books ''Labels'' (1930), ''Remote People'' (1931), ''Ninety-Two Days'' (1934), and ''Waugh In Abyssinia'' (1936). The author writes that these pages are all that he wishes to preserve of the four books. Summary "A pleasure cruise in 1929" (from ''Labels'') Waugh begins the cruise at Monaco; he writes: "I soon found my fellow passengers and their behaviour in the different places we visited a far more absorbing study than the places themselves." At Naples he visits the Church of Sansevero. The ship stops at Catania in Sicily, and at Haifa. It continues to Port Said, where he and two other passengers "spent two or three evenings investigating the night-town.... We set out... rather apprehensively, with a carefully calculated minimum of money, and life-preservers...." At Cairo he stays at the Mena ...

Scott-King's Modern Europe
''Scott-King's Modern Europe'', published in 1947, is a novella by Evelyn Waugh, sometimes called ''A Sojourn in Neutralia''. It was first published in an abridged form in the '' Cornhill Magazine'' in 1947, and then by Chapman & Hall, also in 1947. The first American edition, by Little, Brown, appeared in 1949. Plot Set shortly after the end of the Second World War, the story's central character is Scott-King, a middle-aged schoolmaster who for twenty-one years has taught classical languages at Granchester, an English private school which was his own old school.David Wykes, ''Evelyn Waugh: a literary life'', p. 151. Cautious and monosyllabic, he is described by Waugh as "a praiser of the past and a lover of exact scholarship", and is characterized as representing the old-fashioned virtues of honesty, decency, sanity, and, ultimately, heroism.Jonathan Rose, ''The Revised Orwell'' (1992), p. 110.

Windsor Magazine
''The Windsor Magazine'' was a monthly illustrated publication produced by Ward Lock & Co from January 1895 to September 1939 (537 issues). The title page described it as "An Illustrated Monthly for Men and Women". It was bound as six-monthly volumes, with the exception of Volume IV and the final volume, LXXXX (XC). Cover designs Until June 1917 the monthly magazine had a standard cover design, showing the title as "The Windsor Magazine", a sketch of Windsor Castle, and the volume number, month, and issue number in a panel at the foot. The December issues had this layout in colour, while the other months were on green paper with the magazine's name in a red block. Possibly in connection with the Royal family's decision to become the House of Windsor in July 1917, that month the magazine had a make-over, and the new covers dispensed with the sketch of Windsor Castle and the word "Magazine" and instead proclaimed it as "The July (''August, September, October etc.'') Windsor", ...
